v0.3.0
Version 0.3.0 is an attempt to bring UserFrosting up to speed with the tools and practices of the modern PHP community. We proudly introduce the following design elements in UF 0.3.0:
- Model-view-controller architecture (MVC)
- Autoloading with Composer
- Front controller routing with Slim PHP
- RESTful URLs
- Templating with Twig
- Object-oriented data model
- PHPDoc documentation
If you're not familiar with these concepts, don't worry! They're easy, and definitely worth it. You can learn more about the new concepts here.
We also highly recommend that you check out PHP The Right Way. It does a good job explaining the major considerations for building clean, maintainable, and secure software in PHP, without pushing any particular framework down your throat.
